I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed is 25 years old and before this worked in a market and a house goods store. At the beginning of the war his house was bombed and he lost 22 members of his family who were sheltering there. He is trying to save the survivors.

Scrapping the #TwoChildLimit will be transformative for children across the UK.

This was the right decision, and it will bring huge relief to families who’ve been unfairly pushed into poverty by this harmful policy.

You’d hope that some local politicians or church leaders might show some basic leadership on this issue … anyone?

Sharing again to boost and hopefully generate some donations. Please donate if you can
Donations have decreased a lot recently, and we’re still trying to continue our university education despite the difficult circumstances.
Any support or even just sharing can make a big difference. 📚

Thank you from the heart to everyone who has stood by us.

Please do help this family. The situation for our friends in tents is unbearable.
Our mattresses are full of water, and so are our clothes.
I’m unable to take a photo to show you because my family is sitting inside the tent trying to stay warm💔

I urgently need help — for tarps for the tent, food, and clothing

Between 2000 & 2024, the top 1 per cent captured 41 cents of every dollar of wealth generated — while just 1 cent has been shared by the bottom half of humanity. It should alarm us all - first trillionaires within years, while close to half of humanity still lives in poverty.

How did fear become our daily companion?
How can a human live in safety when the sky above them is not a sky, but a threat?

How can we end all wars?
Is dreaming enough?
Or do we still need a kind of courage we keep searching for beneath the rubble?

Khaled needs to raise money for food, as well as try and get enough for university fees for Marah and Abeer.
The situation hasn’t changed food is available, but without money, it’s still difficult.

I hope to continue my education, along with my sisters Marah and Abeer.
If you can help or share, we would be truly grateful.
